    The Mayans weren't all that aggressive, most inovations were created out of necessity and since they were relatively well off with their neighbors there wasn't need for innovating new war technologies. Just my hypothesis.

    If the Mayans were so advanced, why couldn't they figure out metal working and gunpowder?

    No, no, no. In the Aztec and Mayan ball game, the winners were sacrificed and it was a huge, huge honour.
